So, how do you feel about the Koch deal that brought over Rich White?
I will say that when I shopped Koch a bit earlier in the month I received at least one offer of a bonafide great shortstop (Seattle's Mike Silviera) but now, with the deadline fast approaching, not quite anyone like that. Although I was offered some veterans having great seasons- Ju-ao Ju, Trevor Leach, Drew Johnson, Cody Kane- but these were all guys I really didn't have any need for (outfielders, a first baseman, and a third baseman) and players headed towards decline.
Lyerly and Brown remain Brewers. It really just didn't make sense to trade Lyerly for an even older and more expensive veteran who I didn't need when it might be easier to just let him go to free agency (or try to get a better trade in the off-season before arbitration hearings) and I couldn't give Brown away.
